Pittsburgh International Airport to cut airline fees

IMPERIAL, Pa. — The Allegheny County Airport Authority plans to cut fees for airlines at Pittsburgh International Airport.

The authority says it will lower various rates by 11 percent to 48 percent after realizing savings of $11 million by refinancing $10 million in airport debt and $1 million in lower insurance costs.

Landing fees will drop 21 percent and terminal fees will fall 15 percent, but both will remain higher than they were in recent months. The biggest reduction will be in ramp fees, which will drop 48 percent.

The move comes less than two months after the authority raised fees for airlines operating out of the airport.
